Users, in this documentation, are those who manage a specific customer infrastructure: creation of portal (configuration, help website, searches, definition of get features), deployment of the portals. They can be helped by the developers or the system administrators to perform some tasks.

Developers write code in geo-api3, geo-front3 and geo-infra. They may occasionally help the user or the system administrators to perform their tasks.

System administrators are in charge of the administration of the servers and databases. They are mostly present to help set up the infrastructure for the first time on their servers (installation of dependencies, configuration of system daemons, creation of the git repositories to deploy a portal to production). Once the setup is done, the users should be able to manage most of the things by themselves. They may still take action from times to time to update packages or redeploy the API.

geo-front3 and geo-api3 were forked and adapted to modernize the geoportals proposed by sigeom sa a Swiss civil engineer, GIS specialist and land surveying company.
The adaptation was performed by Ioda-Net Sàrl a Swiss company specialized in Open Source software.

The following companies give financial support, help to keep this software up to date with swisstopo code, and open source:
